About Me
My name is Ting Zhang, a.k.a., happygirlzt. I have worked as a research scientist at SMU since Feb 2024.
The research project I am working on is about detecting software vulnerabilities using large language models.
Prior to this, I defended my doctoral dissertation titled "Supporting Software Engineers with Large Language Model-Based Automation" on 13 Dec 2023. I was fortunate to be advised by Prof. David
Lo and Prof. Lingxiao
Jiang.
